With products ranging from sophisticated high temperature alloys used in jet engines, to advanced corrosion resistant alloys used in the chemical industry, TIMET’s reach spans the breadth of the titanium applications, and has the technical depth to support developments across a wide range of applications.

TIMET’s fully integrated supply chain, dedicated research facilities, and decades of experience make us the partner of choice for titanium.

Our state-of-the-art sponge plant in Henderson, Nevada converts rutile ore to the highest-quality titanium sponge through our unique Vacuum Distillation Process (20-million pound annual capacity). Using Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) furnaces, the Henderson plant has the capacity to melt up to 30 million pounds of ingot per year. TIMET pioneered triple VAR melting to produce titanium ingot that meets the critical rotating jet engine quality specifications. Research and Development facilities located at the Henderson plant are the most extensive and productive in the industry.
